Last RantMark,
I totally agree, but the frustrating part for me is that even though Americans buy little gold jewelery, the central bank buys none, and my guess is that alot of the investment gold trade in the US is by non Americans (as is alot of the stock market trade) ; yet every little thing the US Fed does totally controls the price of gold, and therefore the price of gold companies.
And the Algorithms that are programmed to buy and sell gold are so dumb, but totally in control.
I thought markets were suppose to be forward thinking. Friday's job report is totally yesterdays news. A reaction to the Americans prematurely opening everything , like indoor dining. Covid-Delta is already racing through America - deaths are at 500 a day already and climbing quickly. The experts say a 90% vaccination rate and other precautions are needed to stop it. Maybe the Americans will just accept the dying, seems like lots of states will, but indoor dining will become a very dangerous activity again. And if indoor dining slows , there goes the American economy. But the Fed will continue to do all it can to prop up the stock markets so they will have that.
And don't talk to me about patience! I came to Endeavor when EDV bought out Avion Gold. Back when I was still young! I had a fair chunk of my gold investment in Avion and watched as it went down down down. Until EDV finally bailed it out by taking it over. That was one time when I wish I had had way less patience! But yes I have lots of patience with EDV. Best gold company in the world I would think. Obvious path to 2m oz per year, and soon. More cash then they know what to do with. Gonna wait this one out.
